Due to the blizzard this past weekend, our Ice Fishing trip consisted of watching our trap from the balcony window, snuggling up by the fire, swimming in our heated pool, and eating loads of comfort food with drinks by the gallon.

While most New Englanders are preparing for the 18-24 inches of snow set to arrive this weekend, I am packing my bags and heading to NH for the Annual Ice Fishing Derby on Lake Winnipesaukee!…

Say what?

.

Yup. It’s that time of year again!

Our group has endured all types of weather on this lake; From sun to clouds, windy to calm, bearable to downright freezing.

However, this year may bring a whole new level of extremes that we have yet to battle.

We should have our own show on TLC to document how amusing this will be.

We have two forms of shelter, one with a wood burning stove and one with a heater, as well as a fire pit, stove for cooking, and of course, vodka, gin, beer, and wine.

You know…the essentials.

Luckily this was not the year to rent an RV and sleep out on the ice.

That year was FREEEZING! But as you can see, it was sunny and clear. No blizzard in sight.

Finally after our stay at The Inn at the Mills last year, we decided that there was no longer a need to brave through the cold, and a quaint hotel was just what we needed.

.

So while this blizzard barrels through with full force, we will spend our days outside catching fish (trying), and our nights drinking margaritas by the fire, swimming in our heated pool, and keeping warm in our cozy cottage on the lake.

Now that’s ice fishing in style.

Stay safe. Stay warm. And enjoy what is hopefully the first and final blizzard of 2013!
